Headed to Shanghai any time in the near future? Perhaps for Lunar New Year? If so, check out author Nina Simonds' picks on where to eat in Shanghai. She traipsed through the Paris of the East and lists five must-try places: Xindalu, Xibo, Din Tai Fung, Shunxing, and Bia Jia Qian Wei. Some of the dishes Simonds savored include Peking Duck, tian wei lao xia (baby river shrimp in a fragrant hot-and-sour broth showered with fresh cilantro), and xiao leng bao, perhaps better known as Shanghai soup dumplings (recipe here).

If you've spent any time in Shanghai, what were your favorite places and dishes to eat?
